Abstract	Border crossings are points that impact the free flow of freight transportation for Maine shippers and transportation providers. Over the last few years, The Office of Freight Transportation has increasingly been looking at making improvements at Maine's border crossings with Canada. One example of cooperation with Maine's neighbors is the Calais/St. Stephen Area Border Crossing Study which has resulted in the selection of a new crossing point between Calais, Maine and St. Stephen, New Brunswick, area; a link to the study documents are included on this website. Graphs show the traffic volume using the border crossings at Calais, Jackman, and Vanceboro. Links are provided to the transportation agencies of the neighboring Canadian provinces. Contact information for OFT staff provided.
